A review by sleepey
The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 1 by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu

4.5

I'm glad I read through the glossary etc at the back of the book first because a lot of the story would have been totally incomprehensible otherwise. I feel like the translator could have gone a few steps further to communicate certain words & concepts in plain English without too much impact, but maybe that's just me being basic. It's my first one of these.

The story is a lot of fun, if a bit slow in places, & weirdly structured due to it originally being serialised. The main characters are all super endearing, & the way the plot is set up with the protagonist kind of knowing what's going to happen (but also kind of not) is really interesting. I ordered the 2nd book as soon as I finished, I have to know what happens!
